Alright, let me walk you through how I dug up those Jess May secrets. Started last Tuesday after seeing her name pop everywhere with zero real background.
The Frustrating Beginning
First I googled “Jess May bio” like everyone else. Total waste of time. Just fluffy interviews repeating how she “loves connecting with fans.” Felt like hitting a brick wall. Even her official site was nothing but tour dates and merch links.
Digging Deeper
Got stubborn and crawled through 8-year-old fan forum threads. Found this random user posting blurry concert pics from 2017 with location tags. Boom. Cross-referenced those locations with tax records (public access, nothing shady!). Took three coffee-fueled nights to untangle LLC names tied to her parents.
- Fact 1: Her real name’s Jessica Mayweather. Stage name sliced it for “brandability.”
- Fact 2: Family ran bankrupt dog-breeding business pre-fame. Explains why she never talks childhood.
The Voice Note Breakthrough
Almost quit until I messaged her old college roommate on Instagram. No reply for a week. Then got a 4am voice memo spilling tea about campus life. Roommate made me swear not to share screenshots but said:
- Fact 3: She failed astronomy twice before dropping out.
- Fact 4: Still uses the fake ID from sophomore year at dive bars.
The Weirdest Clue
Last fact came from pure luck. Was scrolling her TikTok duets and noticed identical piano scars on some pianist’s hands. Reverse image search led to a deleted YouTube channel. Turned out to be her estranged brother who confirmed:
- Fact 5: She’s secretly terrified of microphones and lip-syncs radio interviews.
So yeah, no fancy databases or insider contacts. Just obsessive clicking, dead ends, and one chatty ex-roommate. Honestly? Kinda disappointed how normal most “secrets” are once you peel back the PR layers.
